Chapter 399: Verdant Celestial [Part 2]
The Goblin High Shaman was already a step away from the grave, and Alex had no intention of letting it make a coback.
"Shield Chaser," Alex said softly as he pointed his finger at the Field Boss, who managed to survive the combined attacks of his allies.
Dozens of flaming shields rained down on the monster, finally taking its life.
The mont it collapsed on the ground, the young man heard a notification sound inside its head, and a blue window screen appeared in front of him.

< Quest Na: Preventing an Outbreak!

< Level Up! >
The sound of the Level Ups was like music in Alex’s ears. However, the battle had not truly ended.
To prevent any future troubles, he and the rest of his allies hunted down the remaining Goblins, who had started to scatter after their leader was defeated.
Unfortunately for them, it didn’t matter where they ran or hid. Alex easily found them with his map, which showed their locations.
Many were hurt, and so were seriously hurt during this battle. But thankfully, no one died.
Those who could use healing skills administered first aid on themselves, while the rest used potions to recover.
Alex landed in a secluded clearing, well away from the rest of the group.
Sensing no threats in the surroundings, he deactivated the power of the Verdant Throne.
Latifa materialized in front of him and looked at him with a smile.
Her mouth opened as if to say sothing, but before she could make a sound, her legs suddenly gave way, and she fell face-first toward Alex’s chest.
The young man caught her, but just like her, he could feel his legs about to give way at any ti.
To prevent the two of them from falling, Alex leaned his back against a tree, using it as support to keep both of them steady.
For a mont, Latifa didn’t say anything. She let Alex wrap his arms around her, holding her in place.
A minute later, she pulled back and looked at the young man’s face, which revealed his exhaustion.
No words were spoken between them because there was no need for it.
Alex lowered his head and kissed Latifa on the lips.
She returned his kiss, which lasted only for a few seconds.
"Latifa..." Alex was about to say sothing more, but Lumi and Lotte materialized beside the two of them.
"Go on," Lumi said with her arms crossed over her chest. "Don’t let us disturb you. Treat us as air."
Lotte looked at Alex with embarrassnt and mouthed a few words that said "I tried to stop her," allowing the young man to understand the situation.
Latifa, who was too embarrassed to look at her Alters, once again buried her head on Alex’s chest.
The young man lightly patted her head, while glaring at Lumi, who had once again gotten in his way.
"I have a feeling that you’re doing this on purpose, Lumi," Alex said. "Can’t you pick a better timing?"
"I have no idea what you’re talking about," Lumi replied. "What is this timing that you speak of? Is that edible?"
Alex wanted to roll his eyes at her reply, but decided that it wasn’t worth the effort. He was feeling lethargic after undoing his union with Latifa.
’I have to consider the side-effects when using the Verdant Throne,’ Alex thought as he continued to hold the young lady in his embrace.
Fortunately, Lumi didn’t say anything like "How long do you plan to hug Latifa?
